Abstract (en)
A mobile rack with IDE and USB interfaces comprises an outer frame, and an outer circuit board. The outer frame has a central frame chamber. The outer circuit board is attached to the rear side of the outer frame with a 40-pin IDE interface connector and a power input socket at the outer side thereof respectively. It is characterized in that the outer circuit board at the outer side thereof further provides a first USB signal connector so as to admit a signal being converted and integrated at a 50-pin outer signal connector disposed at the inner side of the outer circuit board; a power line between the outer signal connector and the power input socket connects with a switch on the outer frame for controlling an outer power source disconnecting from/connecting with the outer signal connector; a +data and a -data signals in the first USB signal connector connect with two vacant pins in the outer signal connectors and the rest pins in the first signal USB signal connector including a +5V and two grounded lines are connected to corresponding pins in the outer signal connector in parallel to make the outer signal connector have a IDE interface and a USB interface respectively for a data storage device with a IDE interface or a USB periphery device with a USB interface contained in a rack chamber of the inner rack being run well.
